Reality Check for the Obamessiah

2009-03-13T08:46:00.000-05:00

It has been 50 days since the Socialist Messiah was inaugurated into the Presidency, and the MSM is still wetting their panties and saying he has high support from the nation. But that is not reality, nor what public opinion is:

It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama's high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration. Indeed, a detailed look at recent survey data shows that the opposite is most likely true. The American people are coming to express increasingly significant doubts about his initiatives, and most likely support a different agenda and different policies from those that the Obama administration has advanced.

Polling data show that Mr. Obama's approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama's net presidential approval rating -- which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve -- is just six, his lowest rating to date.

Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president's performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.

Woah! A 56% to 43% Approval/Disapproval rating this early in the game is pretty significant. I wonder why:

The reason for this decline most likely has to do with doubts about the administration's policies and their impact on peoples' lives.

There is also a clear sense in the polling that taxes will increase for all Americans because of the stimulus, notwithstanding what the president has said about taxes going down for 95% of Americans. Close to three-quarters expect that government spending will grow under this administration.

Obama, the Donks in Congress and the MSM must think the public is too stupid to realize what they are doing to our country. But the public is not! We realize that with a horrendous increase in Gov't spending will come with a horrendous increase in the taxes we pay, despite the empty rhetoric that Obama spouted.

Obama and the Donks are sinking this country into a Depression, not helping it. This administration's socialist economic policies are doing nothing to stimulate economic growth, job growth or consumer confidence, it is achieving the direct opposite.

May those that voted for this commie in sheep's clothing suffer worse than those of us that knew what the true Obama was: an America hating socialist statist!

Your "Civil Rights" Were Violated? Give Me a Break!!!

2009-02-09T08:58:00.000-06:00

The audacity of some people is truly disgusting, especially those that believe that they are owed something, when in fact they are just plain criminals! And in this case I am talking about a bunch of ILLEGALS that are suing a rancher for "civil rights" violation.

An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home

...

The lawsuit is based on a March 7, 2004, incident in a dry wash on the 22,000-acre ranch, when he approached a group of illegal immigrants while carrying a gun and accompanied by a large dog.

Attorneys for the immigrants - five women and 11 men who were trying to cross illegally into the United States - have accused Mr. Barnett of holding the group captive at gunpoint, threatening to turn his dog loose on them and saying he would shoot anyone who tried to escape.

Let me get this straight, a bunch of Mexican nationals, ILLEGALLY crossed the border on this rancher's land, and he detained them for the Border Patrol. They claimed he violated their "civil rights" because he held them at gun point and threatened them with his dog.

Since when do people that enter this country ILLEGALLY have "civil rights?" Basic human rights, yes, but not the "civil rights" granted by the Constitution for AMERICAN citizens or people in this country legally.

And what about rancher Barnett's rights? Doesn't he have the right to protect his property from those that would destroy his land or rob his home?

This is an unwarranted suit brought forward, not by the ILLEGALS, but by those that want an open border, the mass ILLEGAL immigration of Mexicans, so they can reclaim the Southwest.

What happened to justice?

It appears that justice is only a misused word that doesn't apply to reality.

Pissing in the Wind - MSM Style

2009-02-03T09:00:00.000-06:00

As the newsprint media is rotting on the vine, they are trying to release more propaganda, this time to support themselves!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Several newspaper executives launched a public relations campaign Monday to counter what they call "gloom-and-doom" reports of the industry's demise.

Sure, they admit, times are tough. The economy is bad, the Internet has sucked away advertising dollars and people are losing jobs.

But the 100 million people who read a newspaper the day after the Super Bowl outnumbered the TV audience for the game, the group said in an advertisement that appeared Monday in more than 300 daily newspapers, including The New York Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

With the ads, commentary pieces and a Web site, the industry is painting itself as a vital source of information and the best place for advertisers to sell anything from grapes to a house _ not the dinosaur often portrayed in the media.

"...the industry is painting itself as a vital source of information..."

If their definition of "vital source of information" is biased facts and misinformation, then maybe they are correct. But the American public is not as dumb as the newsrags believe they are. The people know when they are being fed a load of crap, they know when they read an important article on the internet, but not in the newspaper, that something is fishy, and that something is the what they wrap their fish in.

The NY Slimes is dying, along with other major papers. And no amount of advertising is going to help.

I say good riddance to bad rubbish!

Obama is Giving Terrorists What They Want - Legitimacy

2009-02-02T09:03:00.000-06:00

There is a reason why you don't negotiate with terrorists, because when you do, you are acknowledging their methods and goals. And Obama is keeping to the one campaign promise that he shouldn't keep.

US President Barack Obama has already used experts within the last few months to hold high-level but discreet talks with both Iran and Syria, organizers of the meetings told AFP.

Officially, Obama's overtures toward both Tehran and Damascus have remained limited.

In an interview broadcast Monday, Obama said the United States would offer arch-foe Iran an extended hand of diplomacy if the Islamic Republic's leaders "unclenched their fist."

Holding high level talks with these two terrorist regimes, is confirming their opinion that the US is weak. And to them a position of weakness invites them to continue their terrorist ways.

Thanks Obama, for placing the lives of Israel and America in harms way!

President BO is Leading America to Disaster

2009-01-27T08:58:00.000-06:00

The BO doesn't stand for Barrack Obama, it stands for Bend Over because that is what he is doing for terrorists. With Iran announcing that it will have a nuke this year, B. Hussein Obama went on Arab TV and tried appeasing the Muslim world.

There is nothing wrong with informing Muslim nations that the US is not their enemy, which we aren't, but without letting them know that we will not tolerate these same nation allowing terrorist to thrive and prosper in their countries, Obama was just speaking from a position of weakness, not strength.

Teddy Roosevelt was correct that we need to "speak softly and carry a big stick", but Obama doesn't have the balls to carry a big stick.

With that being the case, as a public service announcement, the following is a link to "How to Build a Bomb Shelter"

Enough of the Worshipping Already!

2009-01-26T09:28:00.000-06:00

Last week was a surrealistic week in America, it a time set aside for 1/2 of America and the whole of the MSM to bow down, worship and anoint their messiah and install him into the White House.

The MSM was giddily drunk and gushing with praise for all things Obama.

Thank God I was flying all of Tuesday and only caught a tiny bit of the orgy surrounding the Ingratiation on CNN, while sitting in the airport waiting for my next flight.

But the next day, while perusing the free USA Today I had reached my BS limit when I found EVERY section of that rag had a pic & story of Obama on the front page, including the Sports section!!

He is just an inexperienced Libtard that was elected by idiots suckered into his rhetoric and empty promises of Hope & Change. He is not the messiah, he is not special in any way, and him being Black is something only racists would notice.

The idea of equality is to treat all people as equal, not one race as special over another. We are to ignore race when considering a person, not be swayed in our opinion because of it. But that is not what a majority of Americans or the MSM are doing. They are treating him special, just because he is a Black man. And in my eyes, that is wrong!

So enough with the worship orgy, start judging Obama based on his experience, his actions and what he plans on doing to our country.

IMPEACH OBAMA!!!!

2009-01-19T08:56:00.000-06:00

I know I am a day early, but since I will be flying tomorrow, I decided to post this today.

Why should we impeach Obama?

I have no good reason, just like the Leftards didn't for wanting to impeach President Bush.

But then again, Obama does have ties to a domestic terrorist, a convicted fraud, a corrupt Governor, ties to the voter fraud organization ACORN, but most of all, the media loves him, thus he has to be tainted and unworthy.

Hey, at least I didn't say Obama=Hitler.

Name That Party That Wants A Military Draft

2009-01-16T08:57:00.000-06:00

The Donks during the 2004 election sent out fliers and make phone calls to people scaring them saying that President Bush and the Republicans wanted to reinstitute the military draft. Which was all a lie, because the Donks themselves were the ones with a bill in House to do just that.

Now it appears that Charlie Rangel is at it again, trying to introduce another bill for a mandatory draft.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) likely will introduce his controversial legislation to reinstate the draft again this year, but he will wait until after the economic stimulus package is passed.

We don't need a draft seeing as we can meet our active service numbers through volunteers. So why is Rangel pulling this stunt again?

Rangel argues that the burden of fighting wars falls disproportionately on low-income people and that cost should be borne more broadly.

Is Rangel a natural moron or does he have to work at it? Our military is manned by men and women that VOLUNTEERED, it has nothing to do with income. In fact if look at the statistics of our military numbers you will find, educated, hard working people that are not low income, but from middle class families.

Thank God other members of Congress don't take Rangel seriously and know that his bill would be the death of their political careers.

If You Are Not Part of the Solution, You are Part of the Problem

2009-01-15T09:12:00.000-06:00

"Lead or get of the way"

Both quotes are apropos when it comes the the role of the UN and the current Israeli campaign in the Gaza Strip. The UN has done nothing other than aid the Hamas terrorists, and yesterday the UN building in the Gaza Strip was damaged by Israeli artillery fire.

Gunshots and an anti-tank missile were fired at IDF troops near the UN compound that was attacked by the IDF on Thursday, senior defense official told The Jerusalem Post.

Accordng to the officials, the IDF responded by firing artillery shells at the location of the gunmen and that the shells caused damage to the UN installations. At least three people were wounded and the building was set on fire.

...

Palestinians reported that an IDF tank shell also struck one of the wings of a Gaza hospital midday Thursday. Witnesses said part of the structure was on fire. The army said that the building was also being used by Hamas men who were firing on IDF troops.

...

IDF troops also opened fire at two UN vehicles in the Strip on Thursday. One of the cars had no markings identifying it as belonging to the organization. The other was marked as a UN car, but gunshots were fired from it at IDF troops, who returned fire.

What does the UN expect when the local UN reps allow terrorist to use their vehicles and buildings to fire upon Israeli soldiers? Do they expect Israel to reframe from defending themselves?

Just because someone or something says "UN" does not mean that it is peaceful. When the UN has allowed the Hamas terrorist to use schools, vehicles and other buildings to try and kill Israeli soldiers, why should Israel not abstain from killing those that are trying to kill them? Especially with the political Israel Hating agenda that the UN has displayed in the past and the present.

I back the Israelis in this one, if someone fires upon you, to hell with the "UN" label, fire back.

I am not talking about the Liberal's socialist agenda, their nanny statism or their constant degradation of America's moral integrity, no I am talking about their whining and forcing the release of terrorist from Guantanamo.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon said on Tuesday that 61 former detainees from its military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, appear to have returned to terrorism since their release from custody.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said 18 former detainees are confirmed as "returning to the fight" and 43 are suspected of having done in a report issued late in December by the Defense Intelligence Agency.

Thank You Leftards and Lawyers!

Because of your legal actions, the US has been forced to release terrorists from Gitmo, which have returned to their terrorist way. And in doing so, the probability of American lives being lost to these non-reformed terrorist has increased.

May the guilt of any lives lost be upon their heads and may the guilt consume them.

Handouts for All?

2009-01-09T08:57:00.000-06:00

When the Fed started handing billions of our money, it started an avalanche of bums and pan-handlers sticking their hands out for a piece that action. Besides the worthless UAW, California, the porn business wanting fed bucks, now we have a town of 194 people wanting $375 Million!!!

At first glance, the town of Edwardsville, Ala., with a population of 194 people, might raise a few eyebrows with its bid to receive $375 million from the economic stimulus package being assembled by Barack Obama and lawmakers in Congress.

The tiny town, located near the Georgia border and 26 miles from the nearest "big city" of Anniston (population: 24,276), added 33 proposals—about two thirds of them related to "green" energy—to the list of "ready- to- go" projects assembled by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Total sum: $375,076,200.

That comes out to nearly $2 million per Edwardsville resident,...

And where do all these bums and pan-handlers think that money will come from? Do they really think that Obama and Congress will crap out dollar bills?

NO! It will come from you and me and the extra taxes that the Donks will demand to pay off this debt.

So why do these bums think that they are deserving of my hard earned cash just to fill their own wallets with?

No more bailout! Shut that spigot off!! I am sick to think that for the next few years that I will have less income for my family because some greedy wanker thinks he deserves it!

The agrula eating elitist Obama just can't be patient and know his place as just the President-Elect, no he has to try and upstage the current President Bush and 3 former Presidents at yesterday's luncheon:

It may be the people's house, but for 13 more days, it's his house, and his Oval Office, even if three former presidents -- one of them his dad -- happen to drop by for lunch.

Unless, that is, the new tenant who has been measuring the drapes for months joins the foursome and, despite his repeated insistence that "there's only one president at a time," decides he'd like to make a little speech, too.

After President Bush finished his speech, the upstart, no experienced, Obama HopeyChangy thinks he can upstage President Bush in HIS home by giving a speech.

Obama is showing America that he is a no class egotistical amateur, just waiting to rule America with his wealth of knowledge and experience.
